    Incredible creative accounting by Severn Trent

    Why would anyone want to invest in these companies? 🤔😬 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0025wt9/panorama-the-water-companys-murky-business

    New record

    Kings Weir gets heavily fished most of the season, and gets filled in with bait, every day

    Adam's Mill, bankside clearance

    No idea. I've asked if there was any consultation with MKAA, but not had a response

    Adam's Mill, bankside clearance

    by land agents apparently. It looks as if there wasn't any consultation with MKAA

    River feeder rod

    I'd just go with the Accolade. Get a 12ft and 11ft, for the same money as the Tunley

    Paste and boilie soaks

    Very easy. I never bothered rolling mine into balls. All I did was to roll out long pieces and cut to whatever size I wanted. Usually small for feed in pva packs, larger for bait.

    Severn Trent Fail

    All what you say here is true. The under investment by our water companies is criminal, whilst all the time counting the extra £'s from the hundreds of thousands of new build's, water charges. Councils are also burying their heads in the sand.

    Ruckbag replacement

    Big enough for most winter fishing, if you're wandering the banks. Helps me limit the amount of kit I take 😉

    Ruckbag replacement

    Love my Thinking Anglers Rucksack. Into my 4th season and zero problems. Very well thought out bit of kit https://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/thinking-anglers-olive-fishing-rucksack?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjsi4BhB5EiwAFAL0YF768wV991v88URjVlVB04alfLGODub2fFv-92MZbjXHcTVs4kVThxoC1pwQAvD_BwE

    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    I used to love watching them, as much as catching them. Sadly the Ouse's clarity isn't what it was. So that joy is mostly history. Interestingly once you get to St Neots, the clarity returns, and by Godmanchester it runs beautifully clear. For my money, any future barbel stock into the Ouse...

    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    I fish the Great Ouse, and do not have the patience these days, to sit in one swim all day, hoping for that one bite. I need to be proactive and work for my fish.

    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    The one fish at the end of the day has probably not been there all day, but moved in to your spot a short while beforehand.

    Small/ medium river fishing - wait or rove

    On the Ouse, I ALWAYS caught more by roving when stocks were obviously declining. Putting scant amount of bait in half a dozen swims, and rotating them. An hour was generally long enough. No indications, move on.

    Oiling a cork handle

    On the occasions I've had a cork handle that looks a little tired, I have found a decent nail scrubbing brush, with warm water and a litter washing up liquid, does just fine. It's amazing what an improvement this makes. Btw, never sand paper, but maybe a green scourer
